Feature Highlight: Event Sponsors
⚡️Get ready to take your event fundraising to the next level! We're thrilled to announce a major upgrade in V4 to the Event Sponsors feature.
Building on the strengths of V3's sponsor management, this update introduces several new features designed to streamline sponsor management and improve the overall user experience, all while empowering you to create a seamless and impactful sponsorship experience.
Let’s dive into the key improvements and what they mean for you!
New Sponsor Management Section
The first noticeable change in v4 is the addition of a dedicated section under setup called "Sponsor." This section is your hub for managing sponsors and creating custom sponsorship registration forms.
Key Features:
Sponsor Overview: View all sponsors along with their status (public or anonymous) and donation amount, and track impressions and clicks generated by the logos published on the event templates.
Manual Addition: Easily add sponsors manually, including their contact information, anonymity preferences, and attendance status.
Highlighting Top Sponsors
A standout feature in v4 is the ability to feature three top sponsors prominently. Using a drag-and-drop interface, you can reorder sponsors to ensure the most significant contributors receive the visibility they deserve. Featured sponsors will have slightly larger logos, making them more noticeable on public pages.
Self-Registration for Sponsors
One of the most significant enhancements in v4 is the introduction of a sponsor self-registration form. Previously, sponsors had to be managed entirely by admins. Now, sponsors can register themselves, upload their logos, and answer custom questions specific to your event.
Advantages:
Custom Sponsor Form: Tailor the form to collect necessary information like website, logo, point of contact, and any other custom questions.
Form Preview and Distribution: Preview the form and send it directly to sponsors via a unique link.
Enhanced Sponsorship Payment Options
Under event setup, the registration form now includes a dedicated tab for sponsorship payment options. This allows for greater flexibility in setting up sponsorship tiers and payment methods.
Features:
Build Sponsorship Tier Packages: Define tiers such as bronze, silver, and gold (or any custom names), each with specific dollar amounts and associated perks.
Merchandise and Perks: Specify the benefits sponsors receive, whether it's tickets, tables, or general merchandise.
Flexible Payment Options: Choose between fixed price, set donation tiers, or pay-what-you-want and set minimum donation amounts if desired.
Custom Questions: Collect any additional information needed from sponsors through custom questions.
Comprehensive Setup for Efficient Management
The sponsorship tiers in the registration setup seamlessly integrate with the sponsor form, providing a comprehensive system to collect all necessary information. This integration allows sponsors to register with all required options and gives organizers a high-level overview of the event sponsorship process.
With these upgrades, v4 aims to make sponsor management more efficient and less hands-on, freeing up your time to focus on other aspects of event planning. We hope you find these new features beneficial and look forward to seeing how they enhance your event sponsorship experience.
